We are back!
We were in Vancouver for the past week. I am happy that I was able to spend all my time with Cc and Jocelyn. We haven't had that much time together since Cc's delivery!
Jocelyn has been behaving quite well throughout the trip (God does answer prayers!). Because we were together most of the time, I learned just how demanding it can be for a house-wife/mother to stay home all the time with her kids! Believe me, it is extremely tiresome and is much much worse than any over-time, 24/7 job you can think of!
It is also good to see my aunt and uncle too. I hope and pray especially that aunt will get well soon.
And Charis and Anson, thanks for your birthday cake and everything! It is such a delight seeing you 2. And Charis, remember to take good care of yourself. Watch out your sitting position!
Um…. just where should we go next time……

As you can see…
As you can see, my family of 3 are enjoying chicken wings somewhere in a remote location which I have no choice but the kill you if I tell you where it is….
Okay, I am sure everyone can tell where we are. So how about this: for the first person to name the place we are at in this picture, I will personally buy something for you as a souvenir. How's that for a blog owner!
So go ahead. Leave your comment and guess where this is!

Time off…
It's been a while since the last time I took some time off. Cc, Jocelyn and I will be out of town for a week and we will be hiding in a remote location and basically doing nothing. (I can't tell you where this is, or else I have to kill you).
So to all my readers: if, for some crazy reason, you think you see me in the coming week at your town, don't believe your eyes. They are just deceiving you. It's not me. Really. In fact, I suggest that in such situation you should close your eyes, step back, then turn around, and keep reciting the following sentence quitely, "It wasn't Edmund, it wasn't Edmund, it wasn't Edmund…"
Blogging will resume in a week or so.
Have a great week everyone!

Thank you
I am so happy that some of us can sit down (finally) and have a chat about life in general. I's been such a while!
And of course, being in a house with so little furnitures and cooking utensils brings back a lot of memories too……haha!

7 reasons not to mess with children
7 reasons not to mess with children [Thanks DD for the email.]
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl: said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher: asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl: replied, "Then you ask him" .

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl: replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher: paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl: replied, "They will in a minute."

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat one little boy: (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes," the class said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.
